Dr. Walter Friedel had successfully completed plenty of do-it-yourself projects around his New Jersey home. So when he bought Stand 'n Seal tile grout sealer from Home Depot in October 2005, he never imagined it might make him sick.

Friedel said he read the instructions before using the product. As suggested, he ventilated the area. Yet a half hour after spraying Stand 'n Seal on the tile floor in his hot tub room, he said he could barely breathe.
